Workshop and work Safety:
As you carry out each step of your repair work, the safety of your work habits is
paramount, yes, very important. You are constantly surrounded by danger in your
job, and yet you must rise above it, complete the job well and survive another day.
Building safer work habits ensures your safety and the safety of those other team
players or work mates around you. You don't get injured from their negligence, nor
do they get injured from your negligence, that's one good teamwork rule.
Apart from your watching out for your own safety, in team work, you also watch out
for your co worker's safety and they in turn also watch out for yours. This also
helps in team co ordination.
If , for example, you're grinding, making sure the sparks and metal from your
grinder are not flying into any one else's proximity and work space/ area. Or straight
onto a vehicle or windscreen, because they can fuse and stick onto glass, thus
ruining it.
If you are doing a particular job by yourself, then your safety is your responsibility.
You must know the capabilities and limitations of every piece of equipment and tools
that you use. There should be no guess work on your part at all, but be sure of
what you are doing.
If you are changing a clutch pack for a ten ton dump truck by yourself; after you
have gotten the tray up, make sure you have enough wooden planks to brace up
and hold up the tray, or stop it with enough gap for survival, for when and if it comes
down when the tray's hydraulic cylinder fails. I've never heard of a doctor who can
save you when you've been flattened like a pancake. The same thing should be done
with any vehicle been held up by any jack and you're working underneath it. Always
have enough braces for the wheels to stop the vehicle from moving while you're
working on it.
Use your senses well, the nose can smell any weak concentration of any flammable,
such as petrol, before it gets concentrated enough to ignition point with air, so you
must also act quickly. Be very thorough, and logical in your thinking and focus as
well, think always.
Always recheck your work.What's the point of doing a job fast and then end up
having to re do it all over again.
Mental learning and skill are ongoing processes that build up your confidence and
avoids you creating costly and dangerous mistakes; embrace and nurture them.
When you have them in abundance, you will naturally increase you speed of work.
